It's pretty cool! I cross "validated" with the charts of where I'm from and the results seem to be fairly accurate.

One question/request: How did you get the data, and would it be possible to filter by language or genre?

TBH I'm actually trying to chase which songs were popular when I was a kid - for example I distinctly remember Astronomia (Tony Iggy) being massive in the club/party "scene" (and even in malls I think!) - but these charts only give what everyone was listening to - so they're pop songs in the local language.

Thanks! Data sources are shown here: https://github.com/matteocantiello/88mph I agree it would be cool to not just expose the top singles of the year, but potentially choose the top songs in a different genre, so that pop isn't dominating. So maybe having the option to choose musical genre first (e.g. Metal, and the whole website's look changes to a dark-gothic UI :) and then navigate the charts of top metal hits for each country. Which reminds me I need to add Finland

Thanks! I looked at a random 2005 chart.

Question, is this data generated by spotify itself, or are you using some other chart-tracking tool?

Nope. I am scraping a number of different sources, mostly un-related to spotify. See https://github.com/matteocantiello/88mph?tab=readme-ov-file#...

Ah thanks, my bad. Looks like the data's from wikipedia for my country then. Off to wiki! Thanks again!
